After much consideration...

I'm gunna keep my blog public! My friend Tay suggested I keep it public :)
And the facebook-free life is going great. I'm considering getting it again, but just checking it once a day. So, we'll see! For now, I'm good! Ry and I went to Claim Jumper tonight...SO yummy!!! I love it! I didn't go to work today...I wasn't feeling well at all! I get really bad cramps, and when I say bad...I mean BAD! I throw up, I can't get up, I sometimes get a fever, I'm extremely cold, etc. It's bad. So I stayed home and rested. A while back I bought a frozen meal from P.F. Changs, I was hesitant to buy it because I don't normally buy or eat frozen meals, but this frozen meal was Amazing! It was the broccoli beef platter. yumm. I even ate the BROCCOLI! lol I usually don't...So! I highly recommend it! It's a bit pricey, I think I paid $7 for the bag, but it was enough for 3-4 meals. 

I'm looking forward to this weekend! On Friday, we have Amy and Adam's wedding!!! I'm so excited! and on Saturday, we're celebrating my mom's 42nd birthday! I'm probably going to buy her a netbook so that she can chat with my grandma that lives in Mexico. If I do, I'll post pictures! 

Everything with Ry is going great! we went to a fireside last night and it was AMAZING! The topic was marriage...usually I'd know exactly what the speaker is going to say, but not this time! it was a really good talk!

Well, That's that! Thank you for reading! :)

No More FB..

Hello +

This is going to sound incredible, but I've deactivated my facebook! Yes! Isn't that crazy? So let me explain why...I was at work on Friday and one of the first things I do is check my facebook. So I started to think "wow...that's sad" lol and then when I logged on I decided to go to my page and it was amazing how much activity I had on my page. It was an endless list of "Stephanie commented on..." bla bla bla. And I scrolled down and noticed that friends never write back! So I started evaluating... And i decided that I don't NEED a facebook to keep in touch with friends, on the contrary I should be a little more active when it comes to interacting with friends. So I deleted it. And now...I wake up and actually GET UP! lol For example, this morning I woke up, cleaned my room and took my little cousins to buy a backpack at the mall. That was so fun! :) If I were to have my facebook, I would have woken up, logged on, browsed around, uploaded some pics..etc. But not anymore! And my mind is so...at ease. I love it! So I've decided that with all this spare time I'm going to read my scriptures, exercise, and socialize. So far, I love it. And of course I miss being nosy, but it's nice to break a habit! :) Another thing that encouraged me to get rid of it is that I would see so many posts of friends that would post personal thoughts and it drove me crazy! so, now I don't go crazy! lol Because I'm not exposed to those things. Ryan couldn't believe that I actually did it, but I did! He said "you should get it again...I'll post things on your wall" lol. Anyways, that's that! I got a new cell phone! My contract with AT&T finally ended!!! and Ry offered to add me to his family plan. I know, big step. lol Soo I have a new number! it's so crazy! I've had my old number for 5.5 years!! but it feels good to have a new number :) Change is good.
Yesterday, Ry took me to Cafe Rio! We had to drive all the way to Manhattan Beach! and on our way home, we stopped by Plaza Mexico. It's an outdoor shopping center with cute crafts from Mexico.

I bought this super cute handmade purse! I had a lot of fun! Ry is a really sweet man :) I'm so lucky to have him as my boyfriend! Well, I'm gunna get going, we're going to Krystian's homecoming dinner at 4 pm!

Like a Star

I was going through an old playlist...and I forgot how much I Love this song!!!

Like A Star
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...
Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

Dodger Game 2010

Remember how I mentioned that I was going to a Dodger game? Well, here are some pics!! :)

When we first arrived, this is what we saw....lol not a good sign! but, everything was fine with the Stadium!

The Dodger game was so much fun!!! I always have an amazing time when I'm with the people I love! They're a random bunch, but a lovely one :) At one point during the game, Anneliese got a call from a friend asking what the score was and she looked around the stadium for like 2 minutes and couldn't find it lol! So as you can see, we don't really pay attention to the game...we just go to enjoy each other's company! I love them! :)

A couple weeks ago, my wonderful man cooked dinner for me and it was Delicious!

And Yesterday, my Sweet Man stopped by my work with my FAVORITE flowers!

He also took me to lunch :)

3 years ago yesterday, my dad passed away unexpectedly...and it's always a hard day for me, but Ryan was so sweet and supportive! He made my day much better! I really really miss my dad... I feel like he's missing out on so much! I wish he would have met Ryan...and spoiled Noah! But things don't always work out the way you want them to...I miss him so much. I'm so grateful to have so many people in my life that love me and support me during those tough times. I'm very blessed!

Here are a few pictures of my little Noah:

Utah Pictures!!

I've been promising pictures...So here they are! We had so much fun on this trip! Austin is sooo adorable!!!

Remember how I started the diet plan?
Well, we weighed in on Sunday...and I lost 4.5 lbs!!!
